There’s much debate over where fries originate, but that’s an argument for another day. Surprisingly, there’s only one official day to celebrate the deliciousness that is these fried potato wands –  July 13 is National French Fry Day. There is, however, a manner in which to express your love for fries all your round, and that is with a tattoo. These 10 tattoos will not only make you hungry for food but a tattoo, too. Hopefully they’ll also inspire your decision to…
